2. The Monterey NPR station played this interview 4 times on Thursday, April 24th. This IEEE Milestone event may get wider coverage, including next Friday’s California Report which is played by all Calif. NPR stations (KQED FM, Fri. at 6:30pm). The NPR reporter was at the event.

4. This iProgrammer posting – IEEE Honors Gary Kildall With Plaque – includes a link to a 28-minute video that chronicles the life of Kildall, and does a pretty good job of putting his accomplishments into perspective.

This KQED website posting includes the audio story played on Friday on KQED-FM 88.5. KQED did a very nice job of combining portions of the KAZU story aired on Monterey’s NPR station before the dedication with the dedication itself. The text on the website is great as well, and includes a photo of the plaque (see below) in the sidewalk at 801 Lighthouse Ave. in Pacific Grove.
